Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of irrigation control, more particularly, it relates to a garden intelligent irrigation control system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The fixed sprinkler system is generally used in the garden scene such as urban park and residential green land. In actual operation, the near-ground wind speed and wind direction directly affect the trajectory of water droplets in the air, and the parameters such as the center height of the sprinkler, the nozzle angle and the front pressure further determine the flight time of the water droplets. The prolonged flight process not only increases the evaporation loss, but also causes the water droplets to drift obviously horizontally to the downwind direction. At the same time, factors such as air temperature and relative humidity can amplify the water volume loss, so that the effective water amount reaching the ground is reduced compared with the designed spraying amount, and the spatial distribution deviates from the initial design pattern.

[0003] The garden terrain often has continuous or local slope, and the soil has limited infiltration capacity under certain water content and compaction conditions. When the average application intensity of the valve area exceeds the soil infiltration capacity, a thin layer of surface flow will be formed on the ground and will move along the maximum downhill direction. The water droplet drift caused by atmospheric factors and the water movement caused by slope runoff are superimposed on each other, so that the water amount that really enters the soil presents the distribution characteristics of enrichment on the downwind and downhill side and sparseness on the upwind and uphill side. The geometric center of the infiltration water amount is offset to the downwind and downhill direction, and the target root zone dry and wet patches continue to exist.

[0004] The current garden sprinkler control mostly adopts the mode of partitioning, constant pressure and constant time, or only adjusts the total irrigation time according to the reference evaporation and empirical coefficient. This kind of mode only pays attention to the total water amount matching and the nominal spraying uniformity of the sprinkler, and does not take the real-time relationship between the wind direction and the slope direction, the wind-induced displacement and the influence of the surface runoff on the spatial distribution of the infiltration water amount into the quantitative calculation. There is also no clear method to convert the infiltration center offset into specific executable parameters. Therefore, it is impossible to offset the offset by adjusting the branch flow, the valve opening and the valve area pressure supply, which leads to long-term off-target water supply of the target root zone, causing waste of water resources and increasing the maintenance pressure of the green land.

[0055] Specifically, taking the center point of the irrigation area as the origin, the north-south direction as the y-axis (north as the positive direction of the y-axis), the east-west direction as the x-axis (east as the positive direction of the x-axis), the azimuth angle as 0 degrees with north as the positive direction, and clockwise rotation as the positive direction, the range is 0 to 360 degrees. First, convert the measured wind direction to the direction angle (the difference between the wind direction and the direction angle is 180 degrees), then calculate the x-axis and y-axis components according to the direction angle, and finally normalize the components to obtain the unit vector. If the measured wind direction is east, the direction is west, corresponding to a direction angle of 270 degrees, when calculating the components, convert 270° to radian (270° x π / 180° = 3π / 2), the x-axis component = sin(3π / 2) = -1, the y-axis component = cos(3π / 2) = 0, and finally the unit vector (-1, 0) is obtained.

[0062] wherein represents a nozzle flow coefficient, represents a nozzle cross-sectional area, represents a nozzle front pressure, represents a water density.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, the flight time of the drop spectrum is calculated according to the sprinkler center height, the gravity acceleration and the nozzle elevation angle; the wind-induced drift length is obtained by multiplying the near-ground wind speed and the flight time;

[0064] The difference between the average application intensity of the valve area and the equivalent infiltration capacity is calculated, and the difference is non-negative processed and converted into the excess flux speed; the unit width flow is obtained by multiplying the excess flux speed and the adjacent branch pipe or the spray band spacing.

[0065] It should be noted that the nozzle elevation angle represents the included angle between the nozzle axis and the horizontal line, which is determined by the nozzle installation angle or the manufacturer's calibration; the flight time of the drop spectrum represents the average time of the sprayed water droplets from the nozzle to the ground, and the calculation formula is twice the sprinkler center height divided by the gravity acceleration, and the square root of the result is divided by the cosine value of the nozzle elevation angle; the wind-induced drift length represents the horizontal distance of the water droplets carried by the wind during the flight, and the wind-induced drift length is obtained by multiplying the near-ground wind speed and the flight time of the drop spectrum; the equivalent infiltration capacity considers the influence of the slope angle, and the maximum rate of water absorption per unit time of the soil; the excess flux speed represents the part of the average application intensity of the valve area exceeding the equivalent infiltration capacity, which is converted into a parameter with a speed dimension, and the unit is meters per second, and the calculation formula is to calculate the difference between the average application intensity of the valve area and the equivalent infiltration capacity, and if the difference is negative, it is taken as zero, and then the result is divided by 3600 and 1000 in turn; the adjacent branch pipe or the spray band spacing represents the horizontal distance between two adjacent branch pipes or spray bands in the irrigation system; the unit width flow represents the water flow per unit length in the width direction of the slope.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the tangent value of the slope is calculated to obtain the slope conversion quantity; the water film thickness and the thin layer surface flow speed are calculated by simultaneously solving the Manning formula and the continuity equation according to the Manning roughness coefficient, the unit width flow and the slope conversion quantity; the runoff translation length is obtained by multiplying the thin layer surface flow speed and the initial irrigation time;

[0067] The infiltration centroid displacement module length is calculated by vector synthesis according to the wind-induced drift length, the runoff translation length and the wind-slope included angle; the direction of the infiltration centroid displacement is determined in combination with the direction unit vector and the infiltration centroid displacement module length.

[0068] It should be noted that the slope conversion amount is to convert the slope angle into a dimensionless parameter, that is, the tangent value of the slope; the Manning roughness coefficient is a dimensionless parameter representing the roughness of the ground surface, which affects the slope water flow velocity, and is valued according to the type of ground cover, for example, the value corresponding to grassland is 0.03 to 0.05, the value corresponding to bare soil is 0.02 to 0.03, and the value corresponding to hardened ground is 0.01 to 0.02; the Manning formula is an empirical formula describing the relationship between the velocity of open channel flow and the roughness, water depth, and slope, which is used to calculate the thin layer flow velocity on the slope, and the calculation formula is that the thin layer flow velocity is equal to the reciprocal of the Manning roughness coefficient, multiplied by the square of two-thirds of the water film thickness, and then multiplied by the square root of one-half of the slope conversion amount; the continuity equation is an equation representing the conservation of water flow mass, which is used to solve the water film thickness and the thin layer flow velocity simultaneously, and the calculation formula is that the unit width flow is equal to the thin layer flow velocity multiplied by the water film thickness.

[0069] It should be noted that the water film thickness is the average thickness of the thin layer runoff on the slope, and the calculation formula is to multiply the Manning roughness coefficient by the unit width flow, and then divide by the square root of the slope conversion amount, and then take the cube of five-thirds of the result; the thin layer flow velocity is the average flow velocity of the thin layer runoff on the slope, and the calculation formula is to take the square of two-fifths of the unit width flow, multiply by the cube of three-tenths of the slope conversion amount, and then divide by the cube of three-fifths of the Manning roughness coefficient; the initial irrigation time length represents the preset irrigation time before the distribution is balanced; the runoff translation length represents the horizontal distance migrated by the thin layer water flow on the slope within the initial irrigation time length, and the calculation formula is to multiply the thin layer flow velocity by the initial irrigation time length; the infiltration mass center displacement module length is the straight line distance of the offset of the infiltration mass center relative to the spraying geometric center, and the calculation formula is to add the square of the wind-induced drift length to the square of the runoff translation length, and then add twice the product of the wind-induced drift length and the runoff translation length, and then multiply by the cosine value of the wind slope angle, and then take the square root of the sum; the direction of the infiltration mass center displacement is the spatial pointing of the offset of the infiltration mass center, and the displacement vector is combined with the direction unit vector, and the direction of the displacement vector is consistent with the direction unit vector.

[0070] Specifically, the calculation formula of the water film thickness h is as follows:

[0071] ;

[0072] Specifically, the calculation formula of the thin layer flow velocity is as follows:

[0073] ;

[0074] wherein n represents the Manning roughness coefficient, Q represents the unit width flow, and S represents the slope conversion amount.

[0075] Specifically, the calculation formula of the infiltration mass center displacement module length is as follows:

[0076] ;

[0077] wherein represents the wind-induced drift length, represents the runoff translation length, represents the wind slope angle.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, the sum of the reference lateral pipe flow of all lateral pipes is calculated; the loss correction coefficient is obtained by subtracting the average wind drift and evaporation loss ratio from the numerical value one;

[0079] The loss correction coefficient, the sum of the reference lateral pipe flow and the initial irrigation time length are sequentially multiplied to obtain the effective volume; the effective volume is multiplied by the inositol centroid displacement module length to obtain the first moment.

[0080] It should be noted that the sum of the reference lateral pipe flow is the total flow obtained by adding the reference lateral pipe flow of all independently adjustable lateral pipes in the valve area, which is used to quantify the total water supply capacity of the system when not controlled; the average wind drift and evaporation loss ratio represents the proportion of the loss caused by the drift of water droplets and the evaporation of water in the spraying process due to wind, which is dimensionless, used to correct the actual effective water supply volume, which can be determined by experiment (under the same wind speed, temperature and humidity conditions, the actual landing water volume is compared with the total sprayed water volume to obtain) or using industry experience value (0.05 to 0.1 in windless environment, 0.1 to 0.25 in windy environment); the loss correction coefficient is the proportion of the water volume actually participating in the surface infiltration after deducting the wind drift and evaporation loss, which is dimensionless, used to convert the theoretical water supply volume into the effective volume. The effective volume is the total volume of water that actually reaches the ground and can participate in infiltration after deducting the wind drift and evaporation loss, and the calculation formula is to multiply the loss correction coefficient by the sum of the reference lateral pipe flow, and then multiply the result by the initial irrigation time length, to sequentially complete two multiplication operations to obtain the effective volume. The first moment is the product of the volume and distance required to offset the inositol centroid shift.

[0081] Specifically, the calculation formula of the effective volume is as follows:

[0082] ;

[0083] wherein N represents the number of independently adjustable lateral pipes, represents the average wind drift and evaporation loss ratio, represents the reference lateral pipe flow of the jth lateral pipe, and T represents the initial irrigation time length.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the flow increment of each lateral pipe is set, and the constraint condition that the sum of all flow increments is zero is specified; the condition that the sum of the products of all flow increments and the corresponding lateral pipe projection coordinates satisfies the first moment constraint is specified.

[0085] It should be noted that the flow increment is the adjustment amount of the reference lateral pipe flow of each lateral pipe, the unit is cubic meters per second, which is used to correct the original flow to offset the infiltration centroid deviation, which can be positive or negative (positive value increases the flow, negative value reduces the flow), the calculation formula is to divide the negative first moment by the initial irrigation time, then divide by the projection coordinate dispersion measure, and finally multiply the difference between the projection coordinate of the lateral pipe and the average value of the projection coordinate, the result is the flow increment of the lateral pipe. The first moment constraint is a constraint rule for ensuring that the flow adjustment can offset the infiltration centroid deviation, the core is to realize the first moment offset through the correlation between the flow increment and the lateral pipe position; specifically, the sum of the products of the flow increments of all lateral pipes and the corresponding projection coordinates of the lateral pipes is equal to the ratio of the negative first moment to the initial irrigation time.

[0086] It should be noted that the sum of all flow increments is set to zero, the purpose is to keep the total water supply flow of the system unchanged before and after regulation, this constraint can adapt to the operation conditions of the irrigation system, avoid the total water consumption exceeding the crop water allocation quota or the rated carrying capacity of the water supply equipment due to flow adjustment, without additional adjustment of core water supply facilities such as water pump and pipe network, to ensure stable operation of the system, while avoiding waste of water resources or insufficient water for crops. The sum of the products of all flow increments and the corresponding projection coordinates of the lateral pipes satisfies the first moment constraint, the purpose is to generate a reverse first moment through flow distribution, which exactly offsets the original deviation of the infiltration centroid, this constraint ensures that the flow adjustment can accurately act on the direction of the infiltration centroid deviation, so that the infiltration centroid returns to the spraying geometric center, makes the water evenly distributed in the crop root zone, avoids local waterlogging or drought, and improves the irrigation effect and water use efficiency. Under the synergistic action of the two constraint conditions, the stability and economy of the system operation are ensured, and the regulation and control target of uniform irrigation is realized.

[0087] Specifically, the flow increment of the jth lateral pipe The calculation formula is as follows:

[0088] ;

[0089] Wherein represents the first moment, T represents the initial irrigation time, represents the projection coordinate dispersion measure, represents the projection coordinate of the jth lateral pipe in the direction unit vector, represents the average value of the projection coordinate.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the sum of the projection coordinates of all lateral pipes is calculated, and the sum is divided by the number of lateral pipes to obtain the average value of the projection coordinate;

[0091] The difference between the projection coordinate of each side pipe and the average value of the projection coordinates is calculated, and the squares of all the differences are summed to obtain a projection coordinate dispersion measure;

[0092] The flow increment of each side pipe is calculated according to the first moment, the initial irrigation time length, the projection coordinate dispersion measure and the difference between the projection coordinate of each side pipe and the average value of the projection coordinates;

[0093] The reference side pipe flow of each side pipe is added to the corresponding flow increment to obtain the target side pipe flow of each side pipe.

[0094] It should be noted that the total projection coordinate is the sum of the projection coordinates of all independently adjustable side pipes, and the unit is meter. The total projection coordinate is obtained by accumulating the projection coordinates of each side pipe one by one. The difference between the projection coordinate and the average value of the projection coordinates is the result of subtracting the average value of the projection coordinates of all side pipes from the projection coordinate of a single side pipe, which is used to quantify the position deviation of a single side pipe relative to the geometric center of the side pipe group. The side pipe projection coordinate is a one-dimensional coordinate of each side pipe in the direction unit vector, and the unit is meter, which is used to represent the position distribution of the side pipe in the flow distribution direction. The projection coordinate dispersion measure represents the numerical value of the distribution dispersion degree of all side pipes in the flow distribution direction. The target side pipe flow is the final flow that each side pipe needs to output after the flow increment adjustment, and the unit is cubic meters per second.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the target side pipe flow and valve parameters of each branch are obtained, and the valve parameters include: valve flux coefficient, valve flow characteristic index and valve expected pressure difference;

[0096] The square root of the pressure difference between the two ends of the valve is calculated in combination with the water density, the target side pipe flow is divided by the product of the valve flux coefficient and the square root, and then the calculation result is subjected to the square root operation corresponding to the valve inherent flow characteristic index to obtain the valve opening degree of each branch.

[0097] It should be noted that the valve flux coefficient is a parameter representing the through-flow capacity of the valve, reflecting the conduction efficiency of the valve structure to water flow, and is provided by the valve manufacturer or obtained by test calibration. The valve flow characteristic index is a dimensionless parameter representing the relationship between the valve flow and the opening degree, which is determined by the valve type, for example, 1 to 1.5 for an equal percentage valve, 2 for a parabolic valve, and 0.5 to 0.8 for a quick-opening valve. The valve flow characteristic index is the pressure difference required to be maintained between the two ends of the valve during normal operation, which is set according to the working pressure requirement of the nozzle. The calculation formula of the square root of the pressure difference between the two ends of the valve is the square root of the result of dividing the valve expected pressure difference by the water density. The valve opening degree is the opening degree of the valve, which is dimensionless and has a value range of 0 to 1, and is used to control the actual flow of the branch. The calculation formula is to divide the target side pipe flow by the product of the valve flux coefficient and the square root of the pressure difference between the two ends of the valve, and then to perform the square root operation on the obtained result. The square root operation is performed for the inverse of the valve flow characteristic index.

[0098] It should be noted that if the manufacturer does not provide the valve flux coefficient, it can be calibrated by itself, and the calibration method is to measure the actual flow of the valve under a known pressure difference, and divide the actual flow by the product of the square root of the pressure difference and the square root of the valve flow characteristic index. If the manufacturer does not provide the valve flow characteristic index, it is determined according to the above valve type. The expected pressure difference of the valve is determined according to the minimum pressure required for the nozzle to work normally, combined with the overall hydraulic design of the pipe network, to ensure that the nozzle can stably flow and the spraying effect meets the standard, and is usually set to 50,000 to 100,000 pascals. It can be fine-tuned according to the actual nozzle model and irrigation scene.

[0099] Specifically, the valve opening degree of the jth branch The calculation formula is as follows:

[0100] ;

[0101] Wherein represents the target side pipe flow of the jth branch, represents the valve flux coefficient of the jth branch, represents the expected pressure difference of the valve of the jth branch, represents the water density, m represents the valve flow characteristic index.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present application, the length, pipe diameter and Hazen-Williams coefficient of each branch are obtained, and the head loss along the pipeline is calculated according to the length, pipe diameter, Hazen-Williams coefficient and target side pipe flow of each branch.

[0103] The water density, gravitational acceleration and head loss along the pipeline are sequentially multiplied, and the head loss along the pipeline of each branch is converted into pressure loss along the pipeline.

[0104] The sum of the pressure loss along the pipeline of each branch and the corresponding branch valve expected pressure difference is calculated; the maximum value of the sum in the branch is selected as the valve area pressure setting value.

[0105] It should be noted that the branch length is the total length of the pipeline from the control valve to the terminal nozzle of a single branch, which affects the energy loss of water flow along the pipeline; the branch pipe diameter is the inner diameter of the pipeline of a single branch; the Hazen-Williams coefficient is a dimensionless parameter representing the roughness of the inner wall of the pipeline. The larger the value, the smaller the pipeline resistance, which is determined according to the pipeline material (polyvinyl chloride pipe 140-150, steel pipe 100-120, cast iron pipe 80-100); the pipeline head loss calculation formula is an empirical formula for calculating the energy loss of water flow in the pipeline. The Hazen-Williams formula is used in the present application. The formula form is that the head loss along the pipeline is equal to 10.67 times the length of the branch, and then multiplied by the 1.852 power of the target side pipe flow, and the result is divided by the product of the 1.852 power of the Hazen-Williams coefficient and the 4.87 power of the branch pipe diameter.

[0106] Specifically, the head loss along the j-th branch. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0107] ;

[0108] in This represents the length of the pipe in the j-th branch. Indicates the target side pipe flow rate of the j-th branch. This represents the Hadzen-Williams coefficient. This represents the pipe diameter of the j-th branch.

[0109] It should be noted that head loss is the energy loss caused by friction when water flows in a pipe, and it is calculated directly using the pipe friction loss calculation formula (Hazen-Williams formula). Pressure loss is the pressure loss corresponding to the head loss, measured in Pascals, representing the resistance of the pipe to the water flow. It is calculated by multiplying the water density by the acceleration due to gravity, then multiplying by the head loss, and so on. The sum of branch pressure loss and expected pressure difference is the total pressure required for normal operation of a single branch, including pipe resistance loss and valve operating pressure difference. It is calculated by adding the pressure loss of a single branch to the corresponding valve's expected pressure difference. The valve zone supply pressure setpoint is the minimum water supply pressure that the system must provide to ensure that all branches meet flow requirements.

[0110] It should be noted that the target side pipe flow rate is converted into valve opening and valve zone pressure setting values ​​that the system can directly execute. By accurately calculating the valve opening, it is ensured that each branch can output the target flow rate. By calculating the pipeline friction loss and taking the maximum pressure demand, the pressure setting value is determined to ensure that all branches can overcome pipeline resistance and meet the valve working pressure difference. This not only adapts to the inherent characteristics of valves and pipelines, but also avoids insufficient flow or excessive pressure in some branches, ensuring the stable operation of the irrigation system and achieving the control goal of uniform water distribution.

[0111] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sum of the target side pipe flow rates of all side pipes is calculated; the loss correction coefficient is obtained by subtracting the ratio of average wind drift to evaporation loss from the numerical value.

[0112] The loss correction factor is multiplied by the sum of the target side pipe flow rates to obtain the effective flow rate; the effective volume is divided by the effective flow rate to obtain the balanced irrigation duration.

[0113] It should be noted that the effective flow sum is the total flow actually delivered to the ground surface after deducting the wind drift evaporation loss, the calculation formula is that the sum of the loss correction coefficient and the target side pipe flow is multiplied, and the result is the effective flow sum; the irrigation time after balancing is the irrigation time after flow adjustment, the irrigation time corrected to keep the total water consumption unchanged is the final irrigation time of the system. The flow of each side pipe before is changed to offset the inositol center offset, the total flow may deviate from the initial design, and the time length balancing can avoid excessive or insufficient water consumption, accurately adapt the crop water allocation quota and water resource control demand, ensure the crop water supply, and eliminate water resource waste; the introduction of the loss correction coefficient fully considers the actual influence of wind drift and evaporation, makes the irrigation time after balancing more suitable for field working conditions, avoids the time deviation caused by ignoring the loss, and improves the irrigation accuracy.

[0117] Step S203, the effective volume is determined according to the average wind drift and evaporation loss ratio, the reference side pipe flow and the irrigation time, and the first moment is determined according to the effective volume and the inositol center displacement module length;

[0118] Step S204, under the premise of keeping the total flow unchanged, the target side pipe flow is solved by taking the first moment and the irrigation time as constraints, and taking the projection coordinates of the side pipe on the direction unit vector as independent variables;

[0119] Step S205, the valve opening is determined according to the target side pipe flow and the valve parameter, the head loss along each branch is determined according to the branch length, the branch diameter and the Hazen-Williams coefficient, and the valve area pressure setting value is determined according to the maximum value of the sum of the expected pressure difference and the head loss along each branch;

[0121] It should be noted that the interval and the threshold size are set for the convenience of comparison, wherein the size of the threshold depends on how much sample data and the base number set by the person skilled in the art for each group of sample data, as long as it does not affect the proportional relationship between the parameters and the quantized values.
